verse 1
  Am                            A2            A2/G  
Deep in De - cember, the year has grown old,
                                                                                E7+                                         E  
The days have grown dark, and the nights have turned cold,
                        Am                              A2                 A2/G  
And the hurts that we harbour, the debts that we owe,
                                                             E7+                 E  
Are sleeping down under a blanket of snow!

It covers the grasses, the bench in the park,
                                                                E7+                                 E  
The scars in the earth where man's made his mark,
             Am                    A2                              A2/G  
And high in the sky there's an unearthly glow,
                                                                E7+                            E  
Like a miracle sent to de - light us be - low!

Be - neath a light so e - thereal,

verse 4

We wound, and we're wounded, by the tiniest acts,
                                                                        E7+                    E  
We run from our ghosts, and we cover our tracks,
                  Am                      A2                    A2/G  
And we try to make up for mis - takes that we've made,
                                                                                E7+                         E  
With presents, and parties, and Christmas pa - rades!

Verse 5
                        Am                         A2                    A2/G  
But I'm tired of the running, I?m taking my leave,
                                                                                     E7+                              E  
And the fire's burning low, on this cold Christmas Eve,

All that I have is this evening to spend,

And all that I want is to hold you a - gain!
